    First, if you haven't: buy a food scale. It will make your logging far more accurate.

    Since you have 56lbs to lose, use the following tier during your journey:

    If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 25-40 lbs to lose 1 lb/week is ideal
    If you have 15-25 lbs to lose 0.5 to 1.0 lb/week is ideal
    If you have less than 15 lbs to lose 0.5 lb/week is ideal

    And finally, check out this sticky:

    I have around the same goal I would love to drop. 50 pounds. And I am scared also. It's very hard to get the correct mind set my issue is that I don't ear anuf and when I do eat it's not the best food. As well as I'm very addicted to pepsi. But I would love to help us hit the 50 mark goal.

    I can't add people though so you would have to add me. I have failed more than I want to admit. But I'm sick of always letting my self down. I have had my fitness pal in the past just found out about being able to speak with people.
